When one takes the average prices of automobiles, gasoline and tires, it is found, the Atlanta deal ers claim, that these automotive products cost less today than be fore the war even though the pur chasing power of the dollar in general has shrunk considerably. Today one can purchase, the At lanta dealers say, 111 cents worth | of automobile, 101 cents worth ci gasoline and 123 cents worth of tires with his 1913 dollar. Better highways and the gen eral need for motor transportation account for a large share of the increase in motor vehicle depart gnent at the state capitol, but this has been further augmented, it was stated, by the fact that the public realizes that a dollar will buy more in motor products than in most other lines. Furthermore, the current models of motor vehicles and the present type of tires are far better than ten years ago even at the lower prices prevailing today, it was pointed out by auto men. The pre-war dollar is worth only 61 cents today in the general cost of living, Atlanta statisticians say. It is worth but 51.8 cents in cloth ing, 68.5 cents in food and 61.2 cents in rent. time, Mr. Dean being connected in the Times-Recorder, left Monday in their car for Fitzgerald to reside in the future.

TO SAVE LIVES Continued from page one nor Loeb moved but they center ed on their aged lawyer looks of unwavering interesting and the former touched Mr. Darrow’s sleeve as he passed him going out of court. The salvation of youth is the highest attribute of the state, Mr. Darrow argued, and characterized the hanging of several Chicago boys after jury trials as “a shame and a disgrace.” Never .in the history of the lo cal courts, Mr. Darrow told the judge, has any culprit under 24 years of age been hanged after a plea of guilty. “I do not know how much sal vage there may be in these two poor, diseased minds,” he said. “It might be merciful for your honor to tie a rope around their necks and let JTiem die now. It might be merciful to them, but certainly not to those who come after them.” He pointed to the “wierd men talities” of his clients and the iron ical, mad and horrifying” crime which the contrived as the prod uct, even the responsibility of ages gone. He characterized as “an ancient sunerstition and nothing more,” the theory that hanging is a deterrent to crime. MISS ANNE DAVIS IS ‘MISS COLUMBUS’ COLUMBUS, August 26. Miss Annie Davis, pretty 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dorough Davis, became “Miss Columbus” Sat urday night, following a brilliant dance at the Warm Springs Hotel. Miss Davis is a popular member of the younger set and is a pretty blonde. She has light blue eyes, brown hair and has a perfect figure. This attractive young girl won over the other four Columbus beauties, Miss Frances Marcrum, Miss Blanche Gaffney, Miss Ade laide Koonce and Miss Wyline Jones. "Hanging grejy up in the age of barbarism from which we are so lately come as an exhibition —not as a punishment,” he said. He explained, too, that his refer ence to war was because armed con flict had always been followed by an era of crime. He spoke of nu merous veterans of the world war who had landed in courts after their return from the trenches, where “honorable, upright boys had learn ed how cheap was human life.” “We were fed on flesh and drank blood, even down to prattling babes,” explained Mr. Darrow, as he emphasized that the glories of war were preached from platform and pulpit and even taught in the dresses Os Black Satin L pl LACK satin for the first fail A Ji frock!

War, money and. education all were part of the circumstances that com bined to wreak their destruction.” There were tears in Mr. Darrow's eyes as with quivering voice he pic tured the crumbling hopes of the parents of the boys, and the effect of the crime upon the future gen erations of their families. His voice broke again -when he reach ed his peroration. “I know,” he said, “that your ho'] 01 ' stands between the £uUut and tfie past. For me the future means the hopes of the young. I plead for life, charity, kindness, sympathy and understanding and the future is with me. In a stillness that was broken by not even the muffled clicking o f “silent’ typewriters or telegraph in struments in the press seats, Mi Darrow added this verse from Omar Khayyam: “So I be written in the Book of Love I do not care about that book above- Eras e m y name, or write it as you will, So I be written in the Book of Love.”
